Kuoe Kyoto Watch: Royal Smith 90-008 Silver

KUOE Royal Smith 90‑008 – Vintage elegance in a modern format

The Royal Smith 90‑008 is one of KUOE's premium models, inspired by 1940s timepieces with its compact 34 mm cushion case, a thickness of 10.85 mm, and a lug-to-lug of 41 mm. Hand-applied Breguet numerals and a fine-grained textured dial provide it with depth and authenticity.

It is powered by the Citizen Miyota 9039 caliber, a high-beat automatic movement at 28,800 vph, with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy of -10/+30 s/day. It is partly this movement that allows the Royal Smith 90-008 to be so slim.

The polished and brushed 316L steel case is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and an identical transparent case back. The watch features a water resistance of 5 ATM (50 m).

Delivered on a Lychee leather or beads of rice steel bracelet, the Royal Smith 90‑008 offers a comfortable and vintage feel. It includes a second Lychee leather strap regardless of the first bracelet chosen, making it very easy to change your style. All bracelets are equipped with quick-release spring bars.

The Silver/Gold model combines a polished steel case with gold numerals and hands for a touch of chic without ostentation.
